House Republican releases campaign ad critical of Trump’s immigration policies

Maria Elvira Salazar says some enforcement has gone too far' as GOP seeks distance from Trump before midterms

A Republican congresswoman has released a campaign ad criticizing Donald Trump's approach to immigration enforcement, in the latest sign that a key plank of the president's 2024 re-election campaign has become a liability for his congressional allies ahead of November's midterm elections.

Mr President, some of your immigration enforcement efforts have gone too far," Florida's Maria Elvira Salazar says in a 30-second ad. In July, 50% of the 50,000 people that were detained had no criminal record. Be careful what your advisers are telling you about immigration policy."
